This is pre-eminently a city of homes and of families, of husbands and wives, ot parents and children, 01 churches and schools, and there is no tie more sacred and binding than that of fani- At Ihetamily altar tlie tires ot 11D-1110 first kindled, and there is horn the" love of home, of kindred and of country which is the Bourcc and foundation of our welcome to you, the defender of our firesides and families." The Mayor then handed him a roll containing the resolutions ot greeting adopted by the city authorities. General Grant replied by a silent bow and without further words was conducted to a carriage in waiting. Carriages with the City Council, citizens' committee, Board of Supervisors and other citizens followed, the various military companies, fire companies and civil organizations making up the procession which was formed. When all was m readiness, the carriage containing General Grant and Mayor Andrus hied through the gates and passed the line of Ihe companies in re view till it reached the head ot the pro cession, where, preceded by a detachment of police, it set out up Broadway. From the wnnn along the entire line 01 tne procession, the streets were crowded with people. The house tops, balconies and windows were jammed with sightseers and carriages blocked the way. Ihe day has been one ot unusual beauty, the sun shining warm and clear, and a general holiday. There iB notably Icbs cheering and noise than at the reception in San brnncisco. but everybody sIiowb a great desire to Bee tbe great General, and every face is an earnest of the welcoming that the city is giving to its distinguished guest. the exercises at Oakland were quite elaborate, and a vast multitude were in attendance, including 5,000 school chil dren, who showered General Grant wilh bouquets as he passed down their line.

The Public Banquet committee waited on General Grant in regard to fixing the dale. The General informed them he was awaiting a dispatch trom General Sherman relative to the meeting of the veterans of the Army of the Tennessee; he intended to go to the Y'osemile next week, and his future movements would depend upon the nature of Slierman'B reply. Ho therefore preferred the committee should wait till his return from the Yosemitc before fixing a day for the banquet. FREIGHT RATES. INTRODUCTION prick. LANGUAGE PRIMER 22 cents.

It is the general verdict that the "New Language Series" presents an improvement on the original books not less striking than was the superiority of those books over the old technical grammar.

Board of Public Education, First School District of Pennsylvania, 1 n Philadelphia, April, 1879. At a meeting of the Board of Public Education, First School District of Pennsylvania, held at their Chamber, on Tuesday, February 25th, 1879, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: ' Resolved, That the revised edition, in place of the old edition now in use, of Swinton's Language Lessons, Swinton's School Composition, and Swinton's English Grammar be introduced, to be used wherever authorized by the graded course of study. H. W. Halliwell, Secretary. UNANIMOUS ADOPTION OF THE NEW LANGUAGE LESSONS IN BOSTON. The question of tbe selection of a Grammar was first referred to the Board of Supervisors, and they, after a most thorough examination of all the Grammars before the public, decided unanimously in favor of Swinton's New Language Lessons, and recommended its adoption. The Text Book Committee then considered the question, and they also unanimously recommended the Language Lessons, nnd the School Board adopted it by a unanimous vote; and to-day the only Grammar used in the Boston ' Grammar Schools is Swinton's New Language Lessons.. Swinton's system of language-training has been more extensively introduced for several years past than all other systems combined. It is in successful use in all the cities except one, and in nenrlyall the towns, in New Hampshire, and in more than one hundred cities and towns in Maine. In Massachusetts the cities and towns in which this series is in use include considerably more than one-half the entire population of the State. It is also in extensive use in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. In Illinois it is in use in more than two hundred cities and towns; and it has met with like success in Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, and other Western States. It has been adopted by the State Board of Education in Delaware, for exclusive use in the schools of that State; and it has received the recognition of publication and wide adoption in Great Britain and in the Dominion of Canada.

It is truly "Independent in all things and neutral in nothing." With the advent of yellow jack, the typos started on a tramp. They were not afrad to die, but preferred not to court death by remaining in the city. The editors and reporters also concluded to write up various summer resorts in a more healthful climate, and departed. Only one man remained in the office, an old printer called "Jake." The fever has no terrors for him because he has had it. He has the whole thing in his hands is master of the situation and monarch of all he surveys. He has full control of everything from hell-box to sanctum. In the morning he goes down to the postoflice, gets the mail, opens the letters, and takes what they contain. He then walks around to a saloon, fills up on beer, takes a 30 cent cigar, and about noon happens nroind to the printing office. He pompously opens the door, enters, and says: "Good morning, boys; how are things running?" After waiting a sufficient time for an answer, he continues: " Y'ou may kill that editorial on the ' Political Situation,' set that article on 'The Degeneracy of Morals the Cause of Our Rupture' on the other side, and distribute the telegraph news." When he wants to misuse or abuse any body out of the citv, he does so, well knowing that they dare not come to the office to see him. He don't do much writing, but what he does is fearless in expression. At the head of the local column he keeps standing thefollowing; "On account of a press of advertising our readers must excuse a scarcity of news items this morning." The dead "ads" are changed around and the form not taken off the press, rio sits in tne sanctum a greater por tion of the time, smokintr imported cigars which the editor left behind. He keeps the books, and every night cuts up several exenanges tor aupes ana has some remarkable strings. He credits himself with thirty to sixty thousand ems per day and addB a liberal allow ance for correcting rings. He finds it somewhat laborious to feed the press and make up the mail, but manages to get along with it. A man culled at the office tho other day with the following which he wished inserted as an adver tisement in the local columns: "Coffins for sale cheap at John Smith' carpenter shop." "How much will it cost for three in sertions?" asked the carpenter. Jake squared around to the desk, fig ured a tew minutes anu men an awered: "As it's a grave matter. I'll make the rates to you $112,50." "What!" exclaimed tho advertiser; "you don't mean $112.50 do you?" "Wellj you heard what I said, didn't you? That's dirt cheap only $37.60 for each insertion.

He has not fully determined on his political policy, but expects to come out for Tildcn if the fever continues. Pursuing his recent researches on the scintillation of the stars, M. Montigny shows, in a note to the Belgium Academy, that the following conclusion may be accepted: In tho twinkling of the stars which show the colored rays, when the blue tint predominates, or is found to be in excess, rain may bo expected, if it has not already come. The more predominant the blue the greater the probability that the rain will be persistent and plentiful. It is supposed that the predominance of the blue is owing to the absorption of other colored raya in passing through moist layers of the atmosphere.

To-day being set apart for the reception of General Grant in Oakland the carriages containing General Grant and party left the Palace Hotel at 10:15 a. m. and drove directly to the wharf and aboard the steamer Amador, of the Creek route. Considerable of a crowd was in attendance to witness the start, and a number followed the cavalcade to the wharf. At the wharves a large gathering was present, all eager to see General Grant, but while there was some crowding for precedence a respectful quiet was maintaiued. Just as Uenerai Grant and party noarued me Amador the Oakland left her dock with every available inch of room filled with people going across the bay to witness the reception. At seven minutes past eleven tne aui lor left the wharf. On board were Mayor Bryant, Hon. H. F. Page, M. D, Eortick. the Japanese Consul, and a number of leading citizens, together with the Oakland deception committee. As the boat approached Ihe uakland iiarf, a salulc of twenty-one guns was fired, under the direction of the Citizens' committee. Ihe wharf and vessels lying the wharf were gaily decorated. A arge banner, inscribed with "Welcome," hung across the entrance to the wharf. TU n.. mat at tlia lmnl hi. IflVnf minis and the city officials.

The Mayor then handed him a roll containing the resolutions ot greeting adopted by the city authorities. General Grant replied by a silent bow and without further words was conducted to a carriage in waiting. Carriages with the City Council, citizens' committee, Board of Supervisors and other citizens followed, the various military companies, fire companies and civil organizations making up the procession which was formed. When all was m readiness, the carriage containing General Grant and Mayor Andrus hied through the gates and passed the line of Ihe companies in re view till it reached the head ot the pro cession, where, preceded by a detachment of police, it set out up Broadway. From the wnnn along the entire line 01 tne procession, the streets were crowded with people. The house tops, balconies and windows were jammed with sightseers and carriages blocked the way.

The Text Book Committee then considered the question, and they also unanimously recommended the Language Lessons, nnd the School Board adopted it by a unanimous vote; and to-day the only Grammar used in the Boston ' Grammar Schools is Swinton's New Language Lessons.. Swinton's system of language-training has been more extensively introduced for several years past than all other systems combined. It is in successful use in all the cities except one, and in nenrlyall the towns, in New Hampshire, and in more than one hundred cities and towns in Maine. In Massachusetts the cities and towns in which this series is in use include considerably more than one-half the entire population of the State. It is also in extensive use in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. In Illinois it is in use in more than two hundred cities and towns; and it has met with like success in Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, and other Western States. It has been adopted by the State Board of Education in Delaware, for exclusive use in the schools of that State; and it has received the recognition of publication and wide adoption in Great Britain and in the Dominion of Canada.

It is truly "Independent in all things and neutral in nothing." With the advent of yellow jack, the typos started on a tramp. They were not afrad to die, but preferred not to court death by remaining in the city. The editors and reporters also concluded to write up various summer resorts in a more healthful climate, and departed. Only one man remained in the office, an old printer called "Jake." The fever has no terrors for him because he has had it. He has the whole thing in his hands is master of the situation and monarch of all he surveys. He has full control of everything from hell-box to sanctum. In the morning he goes down to the postoflice, gets the mail, opens the letters, and takes what they contain. He then walks around to a saloon, fills up on beer, takes a 30 cent cigar, and about noon happens nroind to the printing office. He pompously opens the door, enters, and says: "Good morning, boys; how are things running?" After waiting a sufficient time for an answer, he continues: " Y'ou may kill that editorial on the ' Political Situation,' set that article on 'The Degeneracy of Morals the Cause of Our Rupture' on the other side, and distribute the telegraph news." When he wants to misuse or abuse any body out of the citv, he does so, well knowing that they dare not come to the office to see him. He don't do much writing, but what he does is fearless in expression. At the head of the local column he keeps standing thefollowing; "On account of a press of advertising our readers must excuse a scarcity of news items this morning." The dead "ads" are changed around and the form not taken off the press, rio sits in tne sanctum a greater por tion of the time, smokintr imported cigars which the editor left behind. He keeps the books, and every night cuts up several exenanges tor aupes ana has some remarkable strings. He credits himself with thirty to sixty thousand ems per day and addB a liberal allow ance for correcting rings. He finds it somewhat laborious to feed the press and make up the mail, but manages to get along with it. A man culled at the office tho other day with the following which he wished inserted as an adver tisement in the local columns: "Coffins for sale cheap at John Smith' carpenter shop." "How much will it cost for three in sertions?" asked the carpenter. Jake squared around to the desk, fig ured a tew minutes anu men an awered: "As it's a grave matter. I'll make the rates to you $112,50." "What!" exclaimed tho advertiser; "you don't mean $112.50 do you?" "Wellj you heard what I said, didn't you? That's dirt cheap only $37.60 for each insertion.

He has not fully determined on his political policy, but expects to come out for Tildcn if the fever continues. Pursuing his recent researches on the scintillation of the stars, M. Montigny shows, in a note to the Belgium Academy, that the following conclusion may be accepted: In tho twinkling of the stars which show the colored rays, when the blue tint predominates, or is found to be in excess, rain may bo expected, if it has not already come. The more predominant the blue the greater the probability that the rain will be persistent and plentiful. It is supposed that the predominance of the blue is owing to the absorption of other colored raya in passing through moist layers of the atmosphere.
